Nina's Visit to Integrative Pet Care

What a wonderful visit we had at Integrative Pet Care! All the staff was wonderful and fussed over Nina. She was definitely in the spotlight. Nina enjoyed getting checked over which involved a lot of massaging to determine what kind of shape she was in. We were given some exercises to work on that will help build up her muscles. One of the exercises is for Nina to crawl along the floor. I had some treats with me, so this was an easy one for us to practice while at the office. We also bought a supplement that might help her hair grow back faster. Hopefully Nina will be looking like a real American Eskimo Dog soon.

Nina's Training Session

Yesterday we had a delightful visit with Jamie from Animal Sense. This no-charge, in home session was one of the prizes Nina won in the Extreme Makeover contest. We all learned a lot. Jamie was impressed with how intelligent Nina was. She felt Nina could definitely overcome some of her anxiety and she put together a training program for us. I learned about clicker training which Nina picked up quickly. And Nina started to learn about targeting. Nina and I will be working on these new skills and will be signing up for a group class thru Animal Sense as a follow-up. Jamie is also going to feature Nina in her newsletter as the "Pet of the Month" up for adoption. I'm getting more hopeful that Nina will soon have a home of her own.
